Highly Sensitive Person
Tina Mavalankar
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Highly sensitive clients often come into therapy feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or criticized for traits that are actually sources of depth, creativity, and intuition. In my work with highly sensitive people (HSPs), I offer a compassionate, structured approach that helps clients understand their nervous system, regulate intense emotions, build boundaries, and reframe sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw. I integrate evidence-based strategies from CBT, mindfulness, and emotion-focused therapy while moving at a pace that feels safe and collaborative. As someone who identifies as highly sensitive myself, I bring both professional training and lived understanding to the work—creating a space where clients can feel genuinely seen, validated, and supported while learning practical tools to thrive in relationships, work, and daily life.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) experience the world with depth and intensity. Research suggests that about 15–20% of people are wired with a more sensitive nervous system, meaning they process emotions, sensory input, and social cues more deeply. This isn’t a flaw—it’s a temperament. But in a fast-paced, overstimulating world, high sensitivity can start to feel like “too much.” Many HSPs come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure how to separate what’s theirs from what they’re absorbing from others.
In my work with highly sensitive clients, I offer a calm, grounding space where sensitivity is understood as a strength that simply needs support. Together, we focus on regulating overwhelm, setting boundaries that actually stick, and learning how to honor your sensitivity without apologizing for it. Therapy becomes a place to build confidence in your inner experience, trust your intuition, and create a life that feels nourishing rather than exhausting—one where your sensitivity works for you, not against you.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
If you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you likely experience the world with exceptional depth, noticing details and subtleties that others might miss. While this brings rich insights and creativity, it can also lead to feeling drained, anxious, or overstimulated. I provide a supportive environment where we celebrate your unique nervous system and explore how to optimize your well-being. Our work focuses on building emotional resilience, creating nurturing practices, and developing personalized tools to navigate life's intensity, empowering you to thrive in your authenticity.

Sara Lytle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MDiv
Highly sensitive people often experience the world with great depth, awareness, and emotional attunement—but may also feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or misunderstood. I work with sensitive individuals to better understand their nervous systems, develop supportive boundaries, and cultivate self-trust. Therapy offers a space to reframe sensitivity as a strength, while gently addressing stress, self-criticism, and emotional overload.

Highly Sensitive Person
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You notice everything. The way someone’s tone doesn’t match their words. The shift in a room when tension walks in. The beauty in small, fleeting things most people rush past. You feel deeply, love fiercely, and carry more than anyone realizes—because from the outside, you probably seem composed, capable, even unshakeable.
But inside? It’s a different story. Loud noises feel like an ambush. Crowded schedules leave you overstimulated and drained. Criticism—especially from yourself—lingers far longer than you’d like. Maybe you’ve spent years wondering why things seem to hit you harder, why you can’t just “let it go,” or why rest never feels like enough.
Dr. Jenny Shields sees you. She understands what it’s like to live in a world that’s too fast, too harsh, too loud—and to feel like you’re too much for it. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and compassion-based work, she helps sensitive souls turn down the inner noise, set boundaries that protect their peace, and reclaim their sensitivity as the strength it truly is. You don’t need to toughen up. You need space to be exactly who you are—and to learn how to thrive because of your sensitivity, not in spite of it.
